Is the Fed "independent"?

This is a fiction, as Congressman Ron Paul and Senator Jim DeMint explain.

It's always dangerous to fight government problems with government solutions, even when the solution - in this case, Fed transparency - attempts to curb the power of the state. But Paul has made it clear over the decades that his ultimate goal is to abolish the Fed and return monetary sovereignty to the market. His efforts at making the Fed more transparent keeps the Creature in the spotlight where it can more easily be slain.
